Splitting Wood Shingles

For centuries, houses with wooden shingle roofs have blended harmoniously into densely wooded European landscapes. The roofs and facades of the houses glisten silvery grey when their wooden surfaces develop a patina.

Discover this ecological, aesthetic and flexible building material which is experiencing a renaissance in modern architecture. Learn from a master of his craft how to tile a roof with the natural material wood or create a roof for your summer house, shed or kennel.

"I particularly liked the instructor's easy-going nature and the relaxed, creative atmosphere of the course in pleasant premises as well as the chance to try out high-quality tools."

"The natural, traditional methods and working in harmony with nature especially appealed to me - and the fact that I was surrounded by people who feel the same way."

DICTUM is about more than just tools - For more than 160 years, DICTUM has been offering an extensive range of tools, including garden tools, materials, finishes as well as knives for the kitchen and for outdoor use that meet the highest standards and requirements. In our opinion, first-class tools are defined by haptics, ergonomics, material and manufacturing quality. That is how inspiring, durable tools are made.
